The Hottest Fashion Trends of 2016

Fashion changes quickly and the most passionate trend setters are always on the cutting edge, seeking out the newest and hottest looks of the season. In this ever changing world, what are the most exciting styles that will be in vogue this coming year? TRULY Experiences take a look at some of the hottest fashion trends of 2016:

70s Style Suede
There has been a passionate look back to the 70s recently and a lot of love on the runways for retro inspired looks. Some of the hottest designers, including Olivier Rouesteing, Rebecca Minkoff and Alberta Ferretti have been sending beautiful suede pieces down the runway this year. Suede is a gorgeous fabric with a lovely touchable texture and a great look.

Lightweight Denim
How about some light denim for 2016 for a polished yet casual spring look? There have been a lot of lightweight denim pieces in the clothing collections for spring 2016. Take a look at the stylish and trendy pieces that are featured in the collections of Jil Sander Navy, Opening Ceremony, Gabriela Hearst, Suno and others. You’ll look right on trend in 2016 with lightweight denim skirts, shirts, jean dresses and much more.

Victorian Inspired Clothing
In 2016 you might notice that a lot of visual details from the Victorian era are coming into vogue, from puffy sleeves to high collar necklines to ruffles and much more. Don’t worry, full petticoats are not coming into fashion - but there will be sweet and classy Victorian details incorporated into modern fashions for an elegant and romantic look.

The Flat Mule
When it comes to shoe trends, one of the hottest trends at the moment is the flat mule. Thank goodness, as these beautiful yet cosy shoes are so much more comfortable to wear than spiky stiletto heels! Mules of this type have been seen on the runway in a range of different colours, fabrics and designs.

Netting
When you take a look at the fashions for 2016 you’ll see plenty of netting material, from net shirts to skirts to dresses and much more. Whether it is a fine mesh or a larger netting pattern, this material is often layered over other fabrics but can also be worn on its own for a sexy see through look.

Lingerie Inspired Fashions
Sexy lingerie inspired pieces such as silk nightgowns, lacy teddies and corsets that are usually seen in the bedroom are getting their day in the sun. These sultry and sensual pieces have been seen in the collections of Calvin Klein, Wes Gordon and Alexander Wang.

These are just a few of the hottest trends that you will see in fashion in the coming year. Embrace them, add them to your wardrobe and experiment with wearing them in new and stylish ways. Fashion is always changing, so be at the cutting edge and wear the hottest trends.
